“I would like to hear him address it because it is a very sensitive subject right now and I think it should be addressed because there’s a lot of people in mourning and it’s a very sad subject,” Ian Grillot said Tuesday during an interview on CNN.

Adam Purinton, 51, is charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder for gunning down Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, last Wednesday at Austin’s Bar and Grill in the Kansas City suburb of Olathe.

Grillot, a Missouri resident, and Kuchibhotla’s 32-year-old pal Alok Madasani — who is also an Indian immigrant — were wounded in the shooting as they rushed to Kuchibhotla’s aid.

Grillot was shot in the hand and chest.

The FBI is investigating the shooting as a possible hate crime due to the alleged racial slurs Purinton made.

“People are just emotionally distraught about this entire situation, so it would be nice to have some kind of address about it and a little bit of closure for everyone in mourning and everybody struggling with this hard time right now,” said Grillot, who is recovering at a Kansas hospital from his wounds.
